[trostol]

are they eliminated yet?

 

[wankstifier]

are they eliminated yet?

Could happen soon. 7/14 remaining games against the Braves.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[trostol]

why can't we have nice things

 

[FLYguy3911]

Of course Tommy is going to be the one to officially end the season.

 

[Cody Webster]

1 game closer.

 

[FLYguy3911]

What a disaster this team is.

 

[trostol]

they still..could end up with a losing record

 

[Danko]

End?

 

[Adam Warlock]

Sign Harper and Machado or bust.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Fire Klentek.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I love how they could end up with a losing record. I can't remember the last time a team that was in first of a division for so long ended with a losing season. There are so many bad decisions this year. The only trade I didn't hate was Ramos. Everything else was garbage.

I can't wait to see how Kepler and Klentek turn around say how this is okay and that they fought hard... when they really aren't and they didn't. I do hope they end up with a losing record.

Glad they got to witness the Braves clinch in person. I hope it stings. Going 15-28 after being 2 games up is a choke job.

And then got swept to officially lose the division.

 

[trostol]

so when are we officially eliminated?

 

[HammerTime44]

so when are we officially eliminated?

Most likely today.

 

[Halladay]

The team wassnt very good. About a .500 team at best. They have a negative run differential and cant field.

 

[Sombastate]

Its a shame Nola hasn't been able to get a win in so long.

 

[FLYguy3911]

And boom goes the dynamite.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I hope they don’t win another game.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I don't think they will. Kind of amazing how anyone can take this season seriously. This was a season of pure luck to even get this far.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Nationals are in front of the Phillies now.

 

[Sombastate]

Better draft position, i suppose

 

[Hiesenberg]

The Phillies should already be negotiating with Harper, f*** the rules.

I think they underperformed offensively in the second half.

Anyway, hope the Phillies can commit to more players playing nearly every game next season. All the platooning drives me f***ing crazy, especially when it fails to optimize output. Hitting and fielding success depends on regular looks.

Takes a special kind of player to get yanked around and still perform. I doubt that the Phillies have such a player. They want Kingery to be a super utility guy, but he’s replacement level or below at every position. Stick him at 2nd over a full season and see what he’s worth
